| - Power Chord is a Winx offensive spell used by Musa. She releases purple beam of sound waves at the enemy which knocks the enemy several yards away.
- A staple of metal music, the power chord is a simple diad notable for its ease of play and flexible utility. Playable with two fingers, or as little as one with the use of drop-tuning, the power chord can maintain its distinct sound at high levels of distortion, making it ideal for hard rock and metal guitarists.
- In music, a power chord is a bare fifth usually played on electric guitar. Traditionally the term chord is understood to mean three or more distinct notes, however this usage is well-accepted amongst guitar players. Therefore, many non-guitar players would consider a power chord to be a dyad or simply a harmonic interval. However, a power chord is conceived of and intended to be a minor or major triad with the third degree omitted, oftentimes with octave doubling.

However, a power chord is conceived of and intended to be a minor or major triad with the third degree omitted, oftentimes with octave doubling. Although the use of the term power chord has, to some extent, spilled over into the vocabulary of other instrumentalists, namely keyboard and synthesizer players, it remains essentially a part of rock guitar culture and is most strongly associated with the overdriven electric guitar styles of hard rock, heavy metal, punk rock, and similar genres. When the same interval is found in traditional and classical music, the harmonic interpretation will be much more varied, not necessarily implying a triad with the third degree omitted. Power chords are sometimes notated 5, as in C5 (C power chord), in which case it specifically refers to playing the root and fifth of the chord, in this case C and G, possibly inverted, and possibly with octave doublings.
